Engine Maintenance Services
Below is a comprehensive list of the engine maintenance services we offer
Check Engine Light
No one likes to see their car's "Check Engine" light come on. The light could mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, or it could be something minor, like a loose gas cap. At Diesel Worx, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you. Give us a call at 504-810-9679 or stop by the shop for our expert assistance.
Diesel
Although diesel engines don't require tune-ups and tend to last longer than gasoline engines, they do require regular maintenance. Typical maintenance tasks include:
- Changing the oil & filter
- Changing the air filter
- Changing the fuel filter
- Bleeding the fuel system
- Draining the water separators
- Refilling the urea injection system
You can count on the experts at Diesel Worx to help your diesel engine last a long time.
Fuel Injection
Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an engine. Since 1990, fuel injectors have completely replaced carburetors as the primary means of getting gasoline into the engine. A fuel injector atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle (under high pressure). Failure of the fuel injection system means poor performance and ultimately destroys the engine. Make sure your vehicle's fuel injection system is maintained properly. For all your fuel injection maintenance and replacement needs, call 504-810-9679 or visit Diesel Worx today.
Ignition
An ignition system is a system for igniting (using an electric spark) a mixture of fuel and air in a gasoline engine. A properly working ignition system means a properly starting engine and high performance from your car. For all your ignition system maintenance and replacement needs, call or visit Diesel Worx today.
Oil, Lube, and Filter
To keep running smoothly, your car highly relies on oil, lube, and oil filters. Oil helps in lubricating, cooling, and cleaning the internal engine components. With time, motor oil becomes contaminated. Your car needs an oil, lube, and filter change every three months (or 3,000 miles). When it is time for a lube, oil, or filter change, take your vehicle to Diesel Worx in Kenner, LA 70062.
Spark Plug Related FAQs
How do you know when a spark plug needs to be replaced?
The most common sign that a spark plug needs replacing is an engine that hesitates during acceleration. Other warning signs may include engine misfires during startup, rough idling, sluggish acceleration, declining fuel economy, and engine knocking.
What else should I replace when replacing spark plugs?
If you're considering having your vehicle's spark plugs replaced, there's a good chance the spark plug wires should be replaced as well. Ignition wires become brittle over time, and worn wires can lead to engine misfires, poor performance, and reduced fuel economy.
Check Engine Light FAQs
What could cause a check engine light to come on?
Come by Diesel Worx and we can diagnose the reasons for a check engine light turning on. It can range from something serious like a faulty catalytic converter or potential engine failure to something simple like a loose gas cap or the need for a routine 50,000- or 100,000-mile manufacturer maintenance service.
Is it okay to drive with the engine light on?
The short answer is no. The longer explanation is that the light may indicate a serious engine problem, and continuing to drive as if nothing is wrong could result in much more expensive repairs. A check engine light means you should have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible by a professional at Diesel Worx in Kenner.
What is the most common problem with my check engine light?
A loose gas cap is one of the most common reasons a check engine light comes on. However, the best way to determine the exact cause is to have a technician at Diesel Worx read the diagnostic code stored in your vehicle's onboard OBD computer.
What does a solid check engine light mean?
A steady check engine light generally indicates a non-emergency issue that still needs attention. Come by Diesel Worx and we'll help diagnose and resolve the problem before it becomes more serious.
What does an intermittent flashing check engine light mean?
A flashing check engine light is a warning of a potentially severe problem that requires immediate attention. Get your vehicle to an auto repair shop as quickly as possible, or safely park it and arrange for a tow to your preferred repair facility to avoid further engine damage.

These guys are awesome. I spent two months on and off doing the part replacement game before I realized, I didn't have the right diagnostics equipment to move any further. I had my truck towed over to Mike and the team and they got to work on it about five days later. This wasn't my primary mode of transportation, so no big deal. Turns out it was one more relay that I needed to check and replace for a 2012 ram 2500 6.7 with a no start condition (not receiving fuel). I'm not made of money but the pricing was exceptional even for such a small fix. Go see these guys for your problems. They are very easy to talk to you if you want any updates. Front desk staff is cordial. And you can tell by the number of vehicles they have in and out and sitting around, they are a preferred provider of diesel mechanic services (likely for bigger and more complex problems at that).

We were camping 1800 miles from home when our F250 tow vehicle had engine problems. No local dealer could get us in for 2-3 weeks but one recommended Diesel Worx. Mike, the service manager, was incredible - he was knowledgeable, compassionate, and responsive to our predicament. The shop was spotless and they even had a pleasant service assistant who drove us back to the campground and then picked us up when the work was completed. Excellent and highly recommended!
